He was seen leaning against the wall, pursing his thin lips and not speaking, his profile looking sharp and arrogant.

The usual indifference.

It's not like she hasn't seen aloof people before, for example, her brother-in-law Bo Hanshi, who is also quite aloof, but Bo Hanshi seems to have a warm heart.

But Xiao Yan was not like that. Xiao Yan was extremely calm and used to having the power of life and death. All the weaknesses of human nature were wiped out in him.

Weakness, hesitation, panic... He has none of those traits. If he had any of them, he wouldn't be alive today.

Thinking of what Uncle Fei had said to her, Ye Xiaowu actually felt a little distressed.

Reaching out, she grasped his slender little finger.

Xiao Yan finally responded, "What do you want to do now?"

Ye Xiaowu looked at him eagerly and said, "After you disappeared, Uncle Fei asked me to mourn, so I believed you were dead. But... but even though I believed you were dead, I still went to many countries and cities to look for you. I went to all the places we had been to together before, but I couldn't find you, so I could only wait for you in New York."

After she finished speaking, Xiao Yan still leaned there with a calm expression, except that his Adam's apple rolled a little.

Ye Xiaowu stared at his profile for a long time, and he seemed to really not want to pay any attention to her.

She sat back dejectedly, loosened her fingers, and leaned against the window to look at the shops and streets outside.

Xiao Yan glanced sideways at the back of her round head, then retracted his gaze and snorted, "You were waiting for me in New York, and you waited and waited until you found a pretty boy, right?"

Ye Xiaowu was startled, turned his head and looked over, and said everything in detail: "No, Qin Rui used to be my assistant in South City, but not for long, only two or three months. Later he returned to New York. When I went to New York to wait for you, you disappeared. I was alone in New York and didn't know anyone..."

“Then you became familiar with him.”

He also worked as her assistant, which makes it even more ambiguous.

He also worked as her assistant, and the assistant became her man. He was familiar with this kind of thing.

Ye Xiaowu twitched his lips in silence: "Not really, just... we've had dinner together a few times and drank together a few times."

At once?

Xiao Yan laughed angrily: "Are you sure?"

"what?"

"Several times, not dozens of times?"

She used his secondary card, and later he checked her bills in New York for the past eight months. It was obvious that the bills at some restaurants and bars were for two people.

He didn't count them carefully, but with a quick glance, he estimated that it was at least ten times, if not dozens of times.

She had paid the bill more than ten times. He didn't believe that the pretty boy was so shameless as to not pay for it once?

Even if the two of them go AA, she would have to do it more than ten times, and the pretty boy would have to do it about ten times as well.

Is this contact too frequent?

When he spoke ten sentences to that Mexican girl Tamanta, she would keep nagging him for a long time.

He said a few words to her, so she shouldn't feel wronged.

Ye Xiaowu quietly defended himself: "How can there be dozens of times? Many times I went to parties and met people in those circles... But after so many times, it seems that it's just like that. Afterwards, I sent messages to those people and wanted to ask something, but they seemed to ignore me."

Listen to her mumbling and complaining.

Xiao Yan found it more and more funny and couldn't help but give some pointers.

"Do you think those arrogant white people in the elite circle will bother with someone like you who can't provide them with value? You were brought in by a gigolo, and in their eyes, the symbol on you is that gigolo surnamed Qin. If they ignore you afterwards, it means that the gigolo is not of much use."

"You were able to get by in Nancheng before because the most important symbols on you were the Yan family and Fengxing Group. In this world where the previous generation laid a solid foundation, it didn't make much difference to those people whether you were Yan Haoyue or Yan Haoxing."

The essence of relations between people is the exchange of interests.

Everyone is both a subject and an object, it's just a matter of playing a certain role in front of whom.

Ye Xiaowu certainly understood this truth, but...

She muttered, "It's always a good idea to get to know more people."

Xiao Yan did not deny it, but said coldly: "Based on the way you and that pretty boy attended the party, the people you met were just people, not connections that could be used."

Ye Xiaowu sat there and turned his eyes to his face, "Then how can I get to know him so that he can become a connection that I can use?"

Xiao Yan was not happy: "Think for yourself."

You want to strike up a conversation, right? That’s not the end.

The car fell silent again.

Outside the skyline slowly rose to the sun.

Ye Xiaowu took a 19-hour flight and went through a lot of trouble. With an empty stomach, he looked towards the small restaurant outside.

Xiao Yan's sharp eyes met Eagle's in the front mirror.

Eagle immediately understood, stopped the car and said, "We got up too early today. I'm hungry even though I don't usually eat breakfast. Shall we go downstairs and eat something?"

When Ye Xiaowu heard this, he agreed: "I want to eat that beef noodle restaurant!"

She could smell the fragrance.

The three of them got off the car together and sat on the tables and chairs set up outside the small noodle shop, waiting for their beef noodles.

As soon as the steaming hot noodle soup with braised beef was served, Ye Xiaowu's appetite was whetted.

She lowered her head and ate the noodles with relish.

Xiao Yan glanced at her, and saw that her left cheek was so swollen that his brows unconsciously frowned. He ordered, "Eat quickly."

Ye Xiaowu still had noodles in his mouth and asked vaguely, "Do you have anything else you need to deal with urgently? Otherwise, you can leave me and Lao Ying here, go do your work first, and come back to us later."

She was already eating very fast, and if she ate any faster she would choke to death.

Xiao Yan was too lazy to pay attention to her.

After eating noodles, we drove to the hospital entrance.

A female doctor was found to treat Ye Xiaowu's injuries on his right shoulder and face.

After the treatment, I was prescribed a few tubes of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointments to reduce swelling.

Xiao Yan took an ice pack and put it on Ye Xiaowu's face: "Take it yourself."

"It's so cold..."

Her facial features were wrinkled by the cold. She held the ice pack for a second, inhaled the cold air, and then moved it away. Her long hair was messy, and she looked miserable and funny, which made Xiao Yan curl his lips and his anger seemed to subside a lot.

Xiao Yan walked in front.

Ye Xiaowu followed him with an ice pack.

The eagle was the last one to come, holding the ointment in his hand.

It's a very strange trio, but inexplicably harmonious. They all look bad and don't seem like good people.

The silver-top Maybach drove to the base.

As the car drove up the winding mountain path, the cold sunrise on the top of the mountain shrouded in mist seemed far and near, and was a fiery red.

The rear window was half-lowered, and the cool mountain breeze slid into the car, blowing away the dullness.

Ye Xiaowu was lying there looking at the beautiful sunrise. He wanted to call him to look, but he looked at him and didn't say anything. He turned his head away again.

Xiao Yan glanced at the back of her head and smiled calmly.

Arrive at the base.

Xiao Yan was called to the conference room by Oscar.

Old Eagle took Ye Xiaowu to the room and said, "I sent someone to look for your box. I think it will be back soon. The boss is quite busy recently. We are going to Mexico to build a base and set up a mercenary company. If you want to stay here, you can stay here. If you want to go back to New York, you can go back to New York. Anyway, the boss means it's up to you."

Arrived at the door of the room.

Ye Xiaowu suddenly remembered something and stopped: "I don't live in this room."

This room was also lived in by Yueyue.

Eagle said: "The bed in this room has been replaced. You said before that the mattress in the base was hard. The mattress in your room is softer now."

"Also, the relationship between the boss and Yueyue is not what you think. Yueyue was a spy sent by Aung San. He kept her just to get Aung San's account book. They didn't have dozens of meals together like you and that pretty boy did."
